The District Health Officer (DHO) Peshawar has announced a major recruitment drive for 160 EPI Vaccinator positions in 2026. This initiative aims to strengthen the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) across Peshawar district, improve vaccination coverage, and support public health efforts, particularly against polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
Why These Jobs Matter
Vaccinators play a critical role in Pakistan’s healthcare system, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They administer vaccines at fixed centers, conduct outreach activities, and help achieve immunization targets. With Peshawar being a densely populated district, these 160 new positions will significantly boost grassroots healthcare delivery and contribute to the province-wide goal of hiring over 830 vaccinators.
